SEEK SPEAKER'S OUSTER 
 
REF: ZAGREB 198 
 
Summary 
------- 
 
1. (SBU)  A parliamentary majority of Prime Minister Kostunica's 
party and ultranationalist Radicals supported consideration of a 
resolution stating that Serbia should only join the European Union 
with Kosovo as its territory.  Parliament's Speaker, from President 
Tadic's party, suspended session and referred the matter back to the 
government, prompting the Radicals to threaten that they would call 
for a vote on the Speaker's dismissal.  Each of the ruling parties 
have also suggested that Serbia may hold a referendum on EU 
integration.  End Summary. 
 
Resolution On Agenda 
-------------------- 
 
2. (U)  On March 5, A majority in parliament voted in favor of 
considering the controversial Kosovo resolution reported in reftel. 
133 of 250 Members of Parliament (MP) supported considering the text 
as the first item of business.  The 133 were made up of MPs from the 
Radical Party (SRS), Prime Minister Kostunica's Democratic Party of 
Serbia (DSS) and the Socialist Party (SPS).  As the opposition SRS 
and SPS were joined by the government's DSS, this served to sharpen 
divisions in the ruling coalition.  SRS and DSS officials reiterated 
support for the text, which they said was in accordance with state 
policy on Kosovo. 
 
DS-G17 React 
------------ 
 
3. (U)  Following the vote, the Speaker of Parliament, Oliver Dulic 
(DS), adjourned the session and referred the resolution to the GOS, 
which has not determined a position on the text.  The DS and G17 
Plus, which are in government with the DSS, have both publicly 
opposed the resolution.  President Tadic told FoNet news agency that 
the Radicals aimed to "impede further EU negotiations" through the 
text, rather than "defend Kosovo."  G17 Parliamentary Whip Suzana 
Grubjesic told poloff on March 5 that the vote in parliament 
demonstrated "schizophrenic democracy" as there were conflicting 
majorities in parliament (DSS-SRS-SPS) and in government 
(DS-DSS-G17).  Prime Minister Kostunica can now decide whether the 
GOS will convene on March 6, and whether to have a vote on the 
resolution.  DS and G17 together outnumber the DSS in government. 
Grubjesic said that "either way" the text will come back to 
parliament for a vote, which could be as late as June or July. 
 
SRS Asks to Dismiss Dulic 
------------------------- 
 
4. (U)  SRS leader Tomislav Nikolic said he would formally seek a 
vote to dismiss Dulic because he adjourned parliament before debate 
on the resolution could take place.  "Do not call for break of the 
session," Nikolic said during the March 5 session, "otherwise we 
will file the motion for your dismissal."  "I will have you fall 
today, or I shall not live," Nikolic said.  Legally, the Speaker is 
obligated to schedule a session for his own dismissal within 24 
hours following an official motion.  This must be supported by at 
least 30 MPs and there are 81 SRS MPs in parliament.  Nikolic is 
likely waiting to see if Kostunica will support this motion to 
dismiss the Speaker before making an official motion in parliament. 
 
Dulic Worried 
------------- 
 
5. (SBU)  Dulic's adviser said the situation was "very bad."  Lidija 
Vasiljevic told poloff on March 5 that "the ball is in Kostunica's 
court" since the SRS would need DSS votes to dismiss Dulic.  A 
worried Vasiljevic said Dulic had consulted President Tadic about 
options, but if Kostunica supported the measure it was "very likely" 
Dulic could be dismissed "as early as tomorrow [March 6]." 
 
 
EU Referendum 
------------- 
 
6. (SBU)  The ruling parties have also discussed the possibility of 
holding a referendum to gauge the public's support for EU 
integration.  As reported in reftel, this was first raised by 
Tadic's domestic adviser.  On March 5, DSS spokesperson Andreja 
Mladenovic told the press that his party would support a referendum 
on "whether Serbia should enter the EU with or without Kosovo," a 
leading question.  Dulic told Serbian daily Danas on March 5 that 
the DS would support a referendum if it became clear that the GOS 
 
was unable to achieve its guiding principles, such as EU 
integration.  Dulic said that President Tadic's reelection on 
February 3 had shown Serbian citizens "opted for the EU." 
Similarly, G17 vice president Tomica Milosavljevic told the press on 
March 4 that Serbians "already expressed their stand in the 
presidential elections when the convincing majority was won by a 
pro-European candidate." 
 
Comment 
------- 
 
7. (SBU)  Kostunica has again outmaneuvered Tadic and is back in a 
position of strength.  He can use the SRS resolution to raise the 
stakes, convening the GOS and seeing if the DS-G17 majority will 
outvote the DSS.  Kostunica's option of supporting the SRS to 
dismiss Dulic could strengthen his position in GOS deliberations. 
Dulic has shown guts to stand up to Kostunica over the past few 
weeks and his dismissal would be a seismic political event.  End 
Comment.
